《The Proposal》Chapter 14

The group of them piled into Killian's SUV and he drove them to Liam's house. As soon as Killian had gotten out of the car the boys were running out of the front door to meet him like they usually did.
"Uncle Killy!" They cheered.
Killian knelt down and hugged them both. "Hello, Lads. It's great to see you."
Finn smiled and turned to Emma. "Auntie Emma!" He smiled.
Emma smiled and ruffled his hair. "Hey, Finn. I brought all of my family, they're excited to meet you." She told him softly.
The four year old smiled. "Really? Cool."
She nodded. "Let's go inside first, and then I'll introduce them all to you, Aiden and your parents."
Finn nodded and ran back inside after his older brother. Killian took Emma's hand in his and kissed her cheek.
"The boys love you." He smiled a little. He lead them all inside where they were greeted by Elsa. She hugged her brother-in-law and kissed his cheek,
"You look good, Kil. It's good to see you too, Emma." Elsa smiled.
Emma nodded. "These are my parents, Mary Margaret and David, and my little brother, Leo.. And this is Regina and Henry.. My aunt and her.. Son.." She introduced them all.
Elsa smiled. "It's great to meet you all. Liam is just in the kitchen putting the finishing touches on dinner." She told them where to leave their coats before taking them to the living room to sit with the children.
"This is Finn, he's four, and Aiden who's six.. Finn, Aiden, this is my family." Emma smiled, and introduced them all again to the children.
Finn and Aiden said hello and asked Henry to play with them until it was time for dinner. Killian as usual immediately drifted towards his niece, picking her up from her play pen, and cuddling her close.
He tickled her gently and kissed her cheeks, he loved causing her to giggle. "K-wee!"
Killian settled her onto his hip. "Hello, little love. I've missed you. Can you say hello to Emma?"
"Em!" She grinned.
Emma smiled a little and pressed a kiss to her cheek. "Hey there, cutie.." She said softly. "Killian is very special to little Addie here, and it's honestly the sweetest thing.." She explained to her family.
Mary Margaret smiled at them. "She really is adorable. All three of your children are, Elsa. How old is your daughter?"
"Thank you. Addie is a year old.. It's gone by way too fast.. She started walking, and is beginning to talk more and more.. I'm sure you understand though." Elsa said softly.

"Yes, kids grow so fast.." David stepped into the conversation. He knew Elsa meant nothing by her comment, but sometimes it was still hard for them to think about how much of Emma's life they had missed.
Liam came in and clapped his brother on the shoulder. "I'm so glad you all could make it.. It's great to see you again."
David nodded. "We're glad to be here, thank you for having us over. You didn't have to do that."
Liam shook his head. "My little brother is the only other family I have, and soon you'll be his family too. I'd like to get know you better as well."
They all sat down to dinner, it was a tight fit with all of them around the table, but they made it work. The two families seemed to get along well, Emma even saw that Leo seemed to be enjoying himself talking to Killian and Liam.
Adelaide refused to eat anything Elsa gave her, so Killian offered to try. "Little love, will you eat for me? It's really yummy, I promise." He took a bite to prove it to her.
She watched him skeptically, but grabbed a piece from the tray in front of her, beginning to eat it. Killian pressed a kiss to her head. "Thank you, Adelaide my love. How about more juice?"
He knew if he gave her juice, she would be more likely to eat the rest of her food without a problem. Elsa smiled gratefully.
"Thank you, Killian. She's been really fussy lately.." She said softly.
"Of course, lass. I know you've had a stressful week, and you know I love to help with the kids." He smiled.
They all finished their meals and the kids went off to play, while Liam took the baby. Killian pulled Emma into his side while they talked.
"Killian mentioned that you're sheriff, Mr. Nolan.. How did you get into law enforcement?" Elsa asked curiously.
"You can call me David.. And I guess I've always been kind of protective and want to keep everyone safe, so law enforcement seemed like the logical route.." He shrugged.
She nodded. "And you're a teacher, Mary Margaret?"
"I taught at Storybrooke Elementary for years before becoming the principal. I miss being in the classroom, but I still enjoy my job." She smiled a little. "What do you do?"
"I haven't worked since I had Addie, but I am actually an artist.. Mainly paint and some sculpture." She shrugged. "I'm nothing special, but I taught at the university.."
Liam shook his head. "My wife is being modest.. She's a spectacular artist, and I wish she would take more time to work on her art.."

"I bet you're very talented, Elsa." Mary Margaret smiled.
"She is, most of the art in Killian's apartment is her's." Emma said.
Killian nodded. "Aye, I love her art.. When I was just a young lad she always encouraged me to sketch and draw.. I don't much anymore because it's difficult without my hand, but she's a great teacher, and I hope one day you'll get back into teaching, Sis.."
"I know, I know.. You and Liam keep telling me I should.. But I like being home with my kids.. I already promised Liam I'd start painting more, but I'm not ready to go back to teaching." Elsa said softly.
"Have you guys talked about when you're going to get married?" Liam asked.
Emma looked up at Killian briefly before nodding. "Yeah, we're just going to go to the court house in a couple weeks to sign the license, and then when we're ready we're thinking about having a small ceremony with all of you guys there." She shrugged.
"Emma and I are just happy to be together, neither of us really feel like we need to have a wedding to be married and happy.. But we do appreciate all of your support, and your love for the two of us.." Killian said softly.
Mary Margaret wished Emma would have a wedding with all of the bells and whistles, but she knew that it was not Emma's personality at all. She and David were just grateful that Emma was including them in her life at all.
They spent the rest of the evening talking and laughing over coffee and dessert. Killian drove Emma's family to his apartment, and told them he and Emma would be back in the morning to take them to breakfast.
Killian and Emma changed into their pajamas and curled up in Emma's bed. Killian kissed the crown of her head.
"Liam and Elsa seemed to fit well with your parents, Love.." He said softly.
"I know, I'm glad they got along.. I know how important your family is to you.." She played with the necklace he always had on.
He rubbed her back gently. "I love you, Swan.. Thank you for being so special."
"I love you too, Killian.. And I'm not special.. I'm just lucky to love a great guy, who makes me my best." She shrugged, burying her face in his neck.
Killian frowned. "To me, you're so special.. I'm lucky that I get to call you mine, my love, my fiance.." He tilted her chin up so he could kiss her softly. "Thank you for including me in your limited time with Henry.. It means a lot to me that you want me to be involved with your lad."
Emma kissed him. "He's my son, and you're going to be my husband. That makes you a part of his life too, and really, his only male role model is my dad.. It's good for him to have you, and for me to not have to navigate this alone." She said softly.
He squeezed her hip. "I'm glad to be a male figure for him. He's a wonderful kid, and he's a lot like you. Being with him makes me think about what a child of our own would be like.." He admitted softly.
"You've thought about having kids with me?" She asked nervously.
He nodded. "Aye.. Watching you with Finn, Aiden, Henry, and especially Adelaide makes me think about it more.. You're so good with them, and I.. I've always wanted to have a family.. A future, a family, with you is something I hope one day we'll be able to consider." He ran his fingers through her hair.
"I think about it too sometimes.. You're so close with Liam's kids, it's like you're a third parent.. And I know this probably isn't want you want to hear, but I'm.. I'm still not sure if I want to have more kids.. Of course I'm not saying no to it because it would make you happy, it's just.. A difficult topic for me.." Emma said softly, running her fingers over his chest.
"I understand.. As much as I'd love kids, I want you most.. You're all I need to be happy.." He kissed her softly.
She sighed but nodded. "I love you so much, Killian.. I promise I'll keep thinking about it, okay?"
"Aye, Love.." He said softly. "Let's get some sleep. You're exhausted."
Emma snuggled further into his side, and was asleep in minutes. Killian held her close and fell asleep just after she did.
The rest of their weekend with Emma's family flew by, and it was difficult for them to leave. Henry did not want to leave Emma so soon, even though he knew he had to. He hugged her as tightly as he could before he left, and Emma promised to call him often.
Regina agreed to let him spend at least a couple of weeks the next summer in Boston with Emma and Killian, and they promised to come visit when they had the chance. Emma was finally in a good place with her family, all of her family, and she could not be happier.

When River finally makes a fatal mistake, it's not him, but Kiera, who suffers the consequences. Now he must try his hardest to make things right. He either gets his unicorn back, or he dies trying. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Humanoid dragon MC, will have m/m romance.

Peerless Hegemon
Warning: Can be quite tearjerking and depressing (or so others say). If you are weak to that and hates that kind of thing, then this story is not for you === Ye Feng lived two lives in one lifetime. First, he basked in the light of Righteousness, becoming an idol of peace and justice. Second, he trod the mired path of the Darkest Path, becoming an object of fear and death. One lifetime, Two Identities, countless experiences, still without purpose. A meaningless existence. An empty husk. In his selfishness of wanting to fill the void in him, he became the catalyst that destroyed Reality. He now controlled everything, ultimate power, uncontestable by none. But he cast it away, to be reborn anew. With a new name and a family, his goal was to understand, his place. To understand how to no longer feel empty. With his family consisting of a Reincarnated Twin Sister and Parents with inscrutable pasts, his desire was not that of grandeur. In this lifetime, he wishes not to hold power, not to gain eternal life, nor control of everything, he only wishes to live, and hopefully look at sunrise with a smile on his face. === Disclaimer: The story focuses on the Main Character’s emotional and personality growth. He is someone who is, obviously OP in some perspectives but almost crippled in others. He is not soft and does not spare anyone because it is “Bad” so expect that there would be genocide and some bloody encounters. I want this instead of just the MC’s search for life and its complication. Where Philosophy and values exist. A story where every action has proper consequences, and not everything can be conquered with a single punch (unless it can be, no need for an unnecessary complication if it can be avoided). Further Notes: This is a story that will gradually increase in word counts and become Chunkier as it progresses and will almost never be below 2000 words, but if the word count will only lengthen the chapter at the expense of a finished tale, it could and would be cut off before 2000 mark), give it a try, it won’t disappoint (I hope). And if by chance that you like it, giving a good Rating and Review will be encouraging to me and possible readers. Schedule: Monday and Friday If you want to read ahead and/or support me to creating this story, you can do it through my Patreon (link below the next chapter button.)
